You did well... hopefully anyone who cares for animals would have done much the same. I saw two dead horses on a road one night - they had escaped from their enclosure and had both been hit by a truck - it is a memory that will stay with me forever - if ever I see any animals (usually cattle)...

You'd rather spend 2 hours buying horsey bits than in a boring supermarket for human bits. You will spend 10 minutes in the shower for yourself and spend two hours plus grooming your horses purely for pleasure. The German Shepherd Dogs come in muddy and you complain about the mess BUT after...

Just wanted to say you have some amazing pics and such beautiful horses on this thread!

Just some information My female donkey (11 years old) suddenly started to expell fluid from her mouth and nose in huge volumes - I rang the Vet and he came immediately - he sedated her with the intention of flushing her throat as she was apparently suffering from a blockage - she died very...
